Dermal fillers are among the most popular and effective non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments available today. They restore volume, smooth lines, enhance contours, and improve symmetry, all without invasive surgery. While fillers are generally safe, understanding the potential risks and complications of dermal fillers is essential for anyone considering treatment.

Common, Mild Side Effects

When performed by a skilled provider, most side effects are minor and temporary. These can include:

• Mild swelling or redness at the injection site
• Bruising, which typically resolves within a few days
• Tenderness or slight discomfort that dissipates quickly
• Temporary asymmetry, which can be corrected during follow-up

These minor effects are normal and usually subside without intervention. Proper injection technique and post-treatment care minimize discomfort and downtime.

Rare but Serious Risks

Although uncommon, more serious complications can occur if fillers are injected incorrectly. The most significant risk is vascular occlusion, which happens when filler is accidentally placed in a blood vessel. Immediate recognition and prompt intervention by an experienced practitioner are critical to prevent tissue damage.

Other rare complications may include infection, granulomas (small nodules), or prolonged swelling. Choosing an expert provider dramatically reduces these risks and ensures rapid management if issues arise.
